OK - but why is it OK to joke about viola players or altos, but not about blondes? In the latter case presumably it's because the "definition" of the stereotype is severely flawed, but in fact that is the case with many such stereotypes. So as not to be overtly sexist, and give balance I'll also mention that some male sports stereotypes are problematic if put under close scrutiny.

A young executive has just been hired by a major firm and is eager to make a good impression. He is determined to burn the midnight oil longer than anyone else the first day. When he finally leaves he is startled to see the big boss standing in front of a paper shredder.
The boss asks him "Can you help me? I have a very sensitive document here. My secretary has gone home for the day and I don't know how to operate any of the equipment."
The new hire takes the document and carefully feeds it into the shredder. The relieved boss says "Thanks. I only need one copy."

Fancy Dress Party
Host: What have you come as?
Me: A harp
Host: Your costume's too small to be a harp
Me: Are you calling me a lyre?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
